Cancer and Data in the New NHS May 2011 Di Riley, Director Clinical Outcomes
Alignment with NHS reforms Improving outcomes: A strategy for cancer sets out how the future direction for cancer will be aligned with: Equity and Excellence: Liberating the NHS Healthy Lives; Healthy people The new emphasis on: Patient information and choice Outcomes not process targets Stronger commissioning New arrangements for public health and local democratic legitimacy
We can only be sure to improve what we can actually measure Darzi, High Quality Care for All, June 2008
Information and choice Information will be central to the drive for better outcomes Increased patient choice informed by reliable information on services and on outcomes Information Prescriptions partnership National Cancer Intelligence Network (NCIN) data collection (e.g. stage; chemotherapy; date of recurrence) making information available in appropriate formats for patients, clinicians and commissioners
Improving outcomes: level of ambition Our aspiration is that England should achieve cancer outcomes which are comparable with the best in the world We believe that by 2014/15, 5000 additional lives can be saved each year. It is now for the NHS, working with PHE to deliver this ambition Note: The additional 5000 lives will require England to match the European average. Approximately 10,000 additional lives would be saved if England was to match survival achieved in Sweden (and Australia and Canada)
Avoidable deaths pa if survival in England = best in World Breast ~ 2000 Myeloma 250 Colorectal ~1700 Endometrial 250 Lung ~1300 Leukaemia 240 Oesophagogastric ~ 950 Brain 225 Kidney ~ 700 Melanoma 190 Ovary ~ 500 Cervix 180 NHL/HD 370 Oral/Larynx 170 Bladder 290 Pancreas 75 [NB Prostate has been excluded as survival gap is likely to be due to differences in PSA testing rates.] Data derived from Abdel-Rahman et al, BJC Supplement December 2009
Improving outcomes: Key Messages - 1 Information & choice NAEDI Public & GPs awareness campaigns 1 year survival indicator of progress Proportion of cancers diagnosed at stages 1 and 2 Proportion of cancers diagnosed through emergency routes GP usage of diagnostic tests Inpatient/emergency admissions Reduced LOS (save > 200m pa) Enhanced recovery 23hr breast models Better treatments Chemotherapy/radiotherapy
Improving outcomes: Key Messages - 2 Outcomes not Targets GFoCW recurrence/metastatic information Quality Services Peer Review reduce burden by 40% (CQC) MDTs National Audits Advanced comms. & Holistic needs assessments NCIN role to focus on: Information for knowledge (outputs) Data for information (inputs)
Improving outcomes: Commissioning Cancer commissioning complex NHS Commissioning Board (specialised services) GP consortia and local health and well-being boards Stronger commissioning supported by NICE quality standards lung starting soon! NCAT/NCIN will work with networks and GP consortia (pathfinders) to develop commissioning support packs Cancer networks to be funded during the transition
GP Practice Profiles for Cancer
Improving outcomes: Quality of life and patient experience Strategy builds on existing initiatives including: The Advanced Communication Skills Training Programme (Connected) The information prescriptions partnership The National Cancer Survivorship Initiative The Cancer Patient Experience Survey New modeling on costs/benefits of one-to-one support Results of the cancer patient experience survey can be used to incentivise improvements An aggregate score will be derived for each Trust Patient Related Outcome Measure (PROMs) will be piloted for cancer survivors New tariffs will be developed to incentivise better aftercare for cancer patients
National support for implementation National Cancer Director post to remain Implementation Advisory Group established NCAT, NHS Improvement and NCIN will support the implementation of strategy phase 1 future arrangements remain to be determined. Annual reports on progress will be published
Funding the new strategy An economic impact assessment published Government committed > 750m over the Spending Review period to achieve the strategy outcomes set out The main areas requiring increased expenditure will be: Public awareness campaigns Increased access to diagnostics for GPs Flexible sigmoidoscopy screening Increased use of surgery as more patients present with operable disease Radiotherapy (including proton beam therapy) Most of increased expenditure offset by savings on I/P care The 750m does not include the 200m for the Cancer Drugs Fund
Alignment to the 5 Domains Preventing Mortality NAEDI Long Term Conditions Survivorship (inc rehab workforce) Recovery from Ill-health Transforming I/P care Patient Experience Advanced comms. & Holistic needs assessments MDTs Safety RT, chemo, acute oncology Peer Review, IOG implementation
Cancer Registration - Vision To provide timely comprehensive data collection and quality assurance over the entire cancer care pathway all patients treated in England (& UK) Resource for patient care, treatment variations quality, safety and performance management audit, research and outcome analyses Increased focus on: Stage, radiology, standard datasets, timeliness
Modernisation of Cancer Registration By 2013 all 8 English Cancer Registries to be using one single database system: Reduce duplication Data along patient pathway (inc rec/mets) Using national data feeds e.g. GFoCW, HES, RTDS Local data supplements e.g. MDTs, pathology Increased timeliness Regular progress reports to MDTs/trusts
Registry Staging completeness - 2007
MDT Performance Data completeness
Confirmed Pathology Reports
MDT Discussion
2009 Lung Cancer Patient Pathway www.ecric.nhs.uk
So finally... Focus for us all: New NHS/PHE infrastructure New commissioning arrangements Improving Outcomes: A Strategy for Cancer Outcomes agenda new analyses Standard datasets Improved timeliness of data & reporting Shared data ownership
